Dutch Breeder Tulips 



The Breeders are the unbroken forms of the old Florist's Tuhps and for size and vigor rival the popular Darwins. Blooming at 

 the same time, and producing the wonderful bronze, buff, brown and purple tones, they may be interplanted with the contrasting 

 shades of Darwins with charming effect. Nearly all varieties listed may be readily forced and will furnish invaluable material for 

 vase decoration in late winter. Outdoors the bulbs require the same cultural treatment as Darwins. 



Not less than 6 bulbs at dozen rate; 25 at 100 rate; 250 at 1,000 rate. If wanted by Parcel Post, add postage at zone rates; weight 

 per 100 bulbs, 7 lbs.
